Specialized Steel Bearing Lubricant
Base - Standard +
Low viscosity - Reduces displacement resistance
Low friction coefficient - Reduces resistance between contact surfaces
Additive #1 - Standard
Antioxidant - Improves longevity and stability of the lubricant
Additive #2 - Premium
Dispersant - Helps prevent particulates from clumping together and increasing resistance
Corrosion inhibitor - Helps prevent oxidation of bearing surfaces
Surfactant - Helps prevent particulates settling when not in use
Hydrophobic - Reduces water contamination
Additive #3 - Specialized
Self lubricating - Forms lubricating compounds under low lubrication to reduce the severity of damage from lack of lubricant
Nanoparticles - Acts as tiny bearings to reduce friction and wear
Film Thickness and strength - Increases load capacity
Surface deposition - Deposits in surface asperities:
Low friction coefficient - Reduces resistance between contact surfaces
High hardness - Reduces deformation and maintains higher dimensional stability
Mending - Replaces material that abrades from bearing contact surfaces
Additive #4 - Specialized
Self lubricating - Forms lubricating compounds under low lubrication to reduce the severity of damage from lack of lubricant
Cylindrical nanoparticles - Acts as tiny bearings to reduce friction and wear
Film Thickness and strength - Increases load capacity
Hydrophobic - Reduces water contamination
Additive #5 - Ultra Specialized
Hydrophobic - Reduces water contamination
Self assembling lipophilic monolayer - Forms a lipophilic monolayer on steel surfaces:
Hydrophobic - Reduces water contamination
Film Thickness - Increases load capacity
Self assembling - Continuous formation under wear
Sacrificial - Reduces wear and abrades under low lubrication to reduce the severity of damage from lack of lubricant
Ultra low contact angle - Vastly increases the lubricants ability to spread out and cover contact surfaces
Oil attracting:
Film Strength - Increases load capacity
Lubricant retention - Increases lubricant retention
